Pros: It's a gts 450. Option for low profile. Actually works well if you don't mind the squeal.
Cons: Loud under load. Like hairdryer loud, a higher pitch than anything else in my living room. I originally purchased this for it's form factor, placing it into a smaller build, though that project was later abandoned entirely. After placing this card into a larger case with better airflow, I was still seeing warmer temps that I would like. I removed the heat sink to re seat with some different paste (This involves tearing a warranty sticker, by the way.) I was less than impressed with what I found. Cheap hunk of metal and bent fins. Some of mine were actually touching each other.
Overall Review: A bit amazed. After the thought and design of a low profile card, they just throw (what appears to be) the cheapest heat sink they could find on this thing. Anyway, after re-seating (and re bending...sigh) the sink I'm running 40's idle and low 80's under load with furmark. Much better than the 90-100's I was running before.
